How Do I Design With Design Zone Carpet Tile?

Design Zone carpet tiles are available at most large home improvement centers. The squares are normally 12 inches by 12 inches and come in a wide variety of colors and textures. Even though most people would purchase the tiles and lay them to all look the same, Design Zone carpet tiles can be designed with a mosaic look or any type of pattern that will complement the rest of your home. Design Zone carpet tiles give you a chance to be creative and unique.
